Colorado Springs police have arrested a fourth teen suspected of participating in a robbery spree that ended when a liquor store owner was shot and killed.

The unidentified 16-year-old, is suspected in participating in five of the seven robberies attributed to the other suspects. He is not a suspect in the robbery of the Empire Wine and Liquor shop, where Donat Herr, 67, was shot to death.

But he is suspected in the robbery of a pizza delivery driver on Jan. 24. The other three have not been charged in connection with that crime.

The latest teen, who is being held for sexual assault, was arrested on Tuesday.

He faces a charge of aggravated robbery.

Dustin Cole Logan, 18, Phinehas Tyree Daniels, 18, and another unnamed 13-year-old boy, were arrested on March 2 in connection with the crime spree that started in January.

Daniels, and the other unnamed juvenile, also face first-degree murder charges in connection with the Feb. 15 death of Herr. The owner of Empire Wine and Liquor was shot and killed during a robbery at the store.

“During these robberies, several masked suspects armed with weapons would enter the business and flee with cash and other items,” police said in a news release.
